Chapter 2076: Chapter 2075: Blood Spirit Snake

At this moment, Lin Dong fixed his gaze on the back of the great hall.

There, a structure resembling an altar had been built, and beside it, there was a gigantic blood pond.

At this moment, fresh blood was gushing out of that blood pond.

The blood seemed to be boiling.

A terrifying evil aura emanated from that blood pond.

Soon, a blood snake over ten meters long crawled out of the blood pond.

Although it was only just over ten meters long, much shorter than the snakes Lin Dong had seen before, the negative energy it exuded was the strongest he had encountered among all creatures.

Even the Nine-Headed Sky Jiao he had seen earlier in the Hidden Dragon Cave didn’t have as heavy a negative energy.

Of course, this was not to say the Nine-Headed Sky Jiao was weaker than it.

But just in terms of negative energy!

”How many people has this Brahman snake immortal devoured to possess such terrifying blood aura?” Lin Dong thought to himself.

Even the war gods on the battlefield had killed tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, yet their negative energy wasn’t this heavy.

As Lin Dong was marveling, the voice of the Sovereign Witch sounded in his mind.

”This is actually a Blood Spirit Snake!”

The Sovereign Witch’s voice sounded quite surprised.

It was obvious that seeing such a creature here was shocking even for someone from ancient times like her.

Lin Dong, curious, used his mental power to communicate with the Sovereign Witch.

”Senior Sovereign Witch, do you recognize this blood snake? What species is it exactly? Why would the Brahman’s people raise it here?”

The Sovereign Witch responded: ”This snake is an extremely evil species. It gains strength primarily by devouring the blood qi of other living creatures. Its habitat is typically in blood ponds.”

”It feeds on life and nests in fresh blood.”

”In ancient times, some evil alchemists also used to breed them.”

”Those evil alchemists bred them mainly to obtain the snake pill from their bodies, used to refine the ’Spirit Elixir’.”

”The Spirit Elixir, though named after life, I see it as a highly evil dan medicine.”

”Although it can extend a martial artist’s lifespan, it is refined from a million lives.”

Lin Dong had never heard of such a dan medicine like the ’Spirit Elixir’.

Although he was also an alchemist, he had never heard of many dan medicines.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but ask in detail: ”Senior Sovereign Witch, what’s the specific situation with this Spirit Elixir? What grade does it belong to? You said it can extend a martial artist’s lifespan? How long could it extend precisely?”

The Sovereign Witch patiently responded: ”The Spirit Elixir is a seventh-grade dan medicine, akin to the General Pill. Its main ingredient is the snake pill of this Blood Spirit Snake.”

”Of course, it’s not an ordinary Blood Spirit Snake’s snake pill, but one from a Blood Spirit Snake that has devoured a million lives!”

”Only the snake pill from such a Blood Spirit Snake can be used to refine the Spirit Elixir.”

”The Spirit Elixir serves only one purpose, which is to extend the life of martial artists. And it extends the life of powerful martial artists.”

”Ordinary people cannot withstand the medicinal effects. If taken rashly, their bodies would burst from the medicine’s potency.”

”The same goes for low-rank martial artists. Only when one has reached the level of an Earth Realm martial artist or higher can they consume this Spirit Elixir and withstand its horrifying medicinal effects.”

”However, Earth Realm martial artists can only absorb part of the Spirit Elixir’s effects, so the life extension is not as effective as it is for Heavenly Realm martial artists.”

”Heavenly Realm martial artists, after taking a Spirit Elixir, can increase their lifespan by three thousand years!”

”As for Earth Realm martial artists, after taking a Spirit Elixir, they can increase their lifespan by one thousand years!”

”What? It can actually increase so much lifespan?” Lin Dong was stunned upon hearing this, knowing that his Resuscitating Pill could at most add five years to a person’s lifespan.

And martial artists, upon cultivating to the Earth Realm martial artist level, can indeed increase their lifespan. For instance, a Martial Artist of the Grandmaster First Stage can easily live for a hundred years.

A Second Stage Grandmaster martial artist living two hundred years is no problem either.

Like Lin Dong, currently with the strength of a Ninth Level Grandmaster, he can live up to nine hundred years without issue. But living for a thousand years would be quite difficult.

The lifespan limit for Earth Realm martial artists is one thousand years!

As for Heavenly Realm martial artists, although they can live longer than Earth Realm martial artists, the most powerful Heavenly Realm martial artists can live up to three thousand years at most. The weaker ones live about a thousand or more years.

But now, Lin Dong heard that the Spirit Elixir was that defiant of the natural order.

It could actually extend the life of an Earth Realm martial artist by one thousand years!

And extend the life of a Heavenly Realm martial artist by three thousand years!

Isn’t that equivalent to living an extra life?

Seeing Lin Dong’s shock, the Sovereign Witch spoke again: ”See, even you’re quite shocked.”

”To be honest, I also find the effect of the Spirit Elixir to be very defying the heavenly ways. Extending a Heavenly Realm martial artist’s life by three thousand years and an Earth Realm martial artist’s by a thousand is as good as going against the Heavenly Way, isn’t it?”

”But in this world, many things are relative. Although the Spirit Elixir can extend life for so long, it’s built on the lives of a million living beings.”

”Using a million lives to exchange for a person’s one thousand or three thousand years, do you think that’s too much?”

Lin Dong, after hearing these words, also understood a principle.

Many things don’t appear without reason.

The life-extending effect of the Spirit Elixir is essentially exchanged for the lives of other living beings.

It’s like energy conversion!

And a million lives, just for extending one person’s life. It can only be said that those who refine this kind of dan medicine are too cruel!

Lin Dong would never create such a dan medicine!

At this moment, the Sovereign Witch was expecting Lin Dong to say more.

However, the Blood Spirit Snake, sensing Lin Dong’s hostility, already took the initiative to attack.

So far, it didn’t know how many lives it had devoured.

Its strength had surprisingly risen to the level of a Nine-Star Monster King!

”Such strength, it must have devoured at least a hundred thousand living beings.” The Sovereign Witch sighed.

At this moment, there was intense killing intent in Lin Dong, and he finally understood the reason why the Brahman captured and lured so many innocent people.

Obviously, the Brahman was very likely cultivating a mature Blood Spirit Snake for its snake pill.

As for whether it was the Brahman’s sect leader behind it all, that was unknown.

”Snake Immortal, with battle power equivalent to my master, you are doomed...” General Ying gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Dong didn’t bother to respond, instead moving towards the Blood Spirit Snake.

He naturally intended to kill this beast!

This beast opened its giant mouth, spitting out a stream of blood qi.

That blood qi enveloped the entire great hall in a domain of blood and negative energy.

As if it had released a ’Killing Intent Domain’ here.

Lin Dong himself had a Killing Intent Domain, so it didn’t affect him much.

At this moment, he released his own ’Killing Intent Domain’ to resist the influence of the negative energy.

Simultaneously, with a thought, the Yangxin Sword flew out from his body.

”Puff～～～”

A single sword strike directly severed the Blood Spirit Snake’s head!

Witnessing this scene, General Ying was dumbfounded!

”This...how is this possible! The Snake Immortal, so powerful, was actually beheaded by a single strike!” General Ying was shocked, unable to accept such a reality.
